The NHL Board of Governors met on Tuesday at the Westin N.Y. to discuss the possibility of realigning conferences in the wake of the addition of the Jets, who are currently in the Southeast Division.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said the group discussed more than 10 plans for shifting the current conferences. “Obviously we have to make arrangements to move Winnipeg west,” Bettman said. “There are a number of other clubs that would like to see adjustments as to where they are aligned. Every club that felt that way had a chance to explain to the board why.”

Bettman said no resolutions were reached during the meeting, and that the league hopes to come to a conclusion on realignment by December.

The discussions, according to ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun and TSN.ca's Darren Dreger, were "progressive."

One possibility that may be up for discussion, according to NHL.com's Dan Rosen: Changing the structure of the conferences by creating four divisions of seven or eight teams. Columbus, Nashville and Detroit have reportedly expressed an interest in moving to the Eastern Conference.

Bettman said the group discussed new equipment used on the ice, such as additional video replay cameras in the net and other adjustments to the goal, to enhance video replay. The group also reviewed the recent decision to outlaw most checks to the head.

“The group was satisfied with the progress that has been made,” Bettman said.
